Something for the weekend

As I mentioned in a previous post I am a member of a group of like minded individuals called The League of Gentlemen Wargamers and a few times a year we get together to fight really big battles or campaigns and the weekend past was the latest game which I unfortunately missed due to work commitments but Bob Lauder sent me a huge number of pics to let me see what I missed so I thought you guys might also like to see them.

Train arriving for a weekends fun.

Another type of weekend gaming

I think he was kept busy all weekend

Recording the casualties

Stagecoach and Whorehouse both had a busy weekend

Another shot of the train

It wouldn't be a cowboy game without some sneeky Redskins

These ones are getting a bit rough.

The Saturday started off with a series of 6x4 tables with a different scenario on each and every gamer got to fight each scenario to build up their gang rating for the big game on the Sunday which was set in the main town on one large table. I have no idea who actually won the weekend games but when you get to play with toys like this and a great bunch of guys, who cares. If you want to see anymore pics send me a message and I will add more of the action.﻿

About Me

Like virtually every wargamer I know my period interests vary enormously from Ancients up to Modern warfare and most periods inbetween. I have even dipped my foot into the Fantasy and Science Fiction periods in the past. Apart from playing wargames I have also had a number of articles published in various wargaming magazines as well as having a few books published in the past and have spent the last few years helping my mate Barry with the playtesting of his Beneath the Lilly Banners and Repulic to Empire rules and we are currently working on a set for the Crimean War and the American Civil War.
